I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech. I study innovation problems in energy, transportation and urban sustainability. My research has been published in leading journals such as Nature Energy, Nature Sustainability and PNAS, as featured in NBC News, CBS radio, NPR, Scientific American, the Economic Times and the Washington Post. I conduct field experiments and use big data analytics and machine learning to evaluate the effects of policy interventions at regional and global scales. My latest projects focus on incentives and behavior change in electric vehicle mobility and resource conservation in cities. Recent funding awards include grants from the National Science Foundation, Microsoft Research, ESRI, and the U.S. State Department Diplomacy lab ($1.0 million as PI, $6.5 million as PI or co-PI). I serve as Associate Editor at Data and Policy journal published by Cambridge University Press and was recently appointed as a member of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), New Voices 2021-2023 cohort.
In 2020, I received a National Science Foundation CAREER award for my project titled: "Behavioral Analytics and Field Experiments in Sustainable Innovation Policies" for 2020-2025. Click here for the release.
At Georgia Tech, I am a faculty affiliate at the Institute for Data Engineering and Science (IDEaS), the Machine Learning Center, the Strategic Energy Institute, and the Climate and Energy Policy Laboratory. I have also served as faculty advisor in the Civic Data Science REU program and faculty PI in the GA Smart Cities, Albany Housing Data Analytics and Visualization Initiative.
